The luxury hotel association Dorchester Collection will open in late 2010 a 46 room hotel at 45 Park Lane, in the heart of London’s Mayfair. It will be their ninth property, joining a gilded group which includes The Dorchester in London, The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Le Meurice and Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris, the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, The New York Palace in New York and the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles.
The 10-story building, which used to be a Mayfair landmark, is the onld headquarters of the London Playboy House, and it had been sitting empty for years. Built in the 60s, it was later turned into a residential apartment building.
